If the goal is long term I think from what is happening now not so panic even though the price has fallen below $ 100K but I see from the other side I actually want to enter faster to accumulate my Bitcoin into more when the market correction is very deep.
The war in the Middle East is the main cause but not only that, the decline in the price of Bitcoin is inseparable from the panic of many people because of the current news but we who are sure about Bitcoin in the future should not care about the news and not be included in people who get out of Bitcoin ownership just because of the news and what is happening now.
We can never say why the price of Bitcoin has fallen. It would not be right to say that the war in the Middle East is the reason for the fall in the price of Bitcoin. Because we will never know why the price of Bitcoin has fallen. Bitcoin is a volatile currency, the risk in long-term investments is much lower than in short-term investments. We can never say that the price of Bitcoin will be much higher in the future, we can only guess. For example, by looking at the market demand for Bitcoin, we can make an assumption that the price of Bitcoin will increase.

However, past performance can never determine the future results. Every time the price of Bitcoin has fallen in the past, Bitcoin has created a new ATH. This fall should never be feared. A real investor will not be afraid of the fall and will use the fall to his advantage. For example, he will buy as aggressively as possible during the fall and hold it for the long term.
When talking about buying Bitcoin aggressively it should not be factord towards the market conditions that is one mistake must person do and get carried away, buying aggressively should be done depending on the amount we choose to invest from our discretionary income and not because the market is down, and for those who made preparation for a reserve funds they can buy the dip without over doing it. There can be various reasons why Bitcoin price has fallen but it shouldn't not be a surprise it should be something we should get used to because it is not only designed to be going up, it goes up and down and that is volatility.
The reality is that you will be aggressively buying Bitcoin when its price is relatively low/going through a bearish period. I think Bitcoin investors can consider accumulating Bitcoin regularly through discretionary income to be aggressive. For example, if you have $150 discretionary income left a week and you accumulate $100 of that in Bitcoin regularly it will be worth more to you than buying aggressively. The ups and downs of the market are a regular thing. Your long-term plan and regular accumulation will reduce the tendency to be less aggressive or more aggressive. Consistent buying will give you the expected Bitcoin stash regardless of the price.
I don't agree to this and that doesn't seem to be the reality for an investor that has a long term goal and their aggressiveness in their investment will not be determined by any market conditions, an investor can be buying Bitcoin aggressively even at the peak price with their available investment funds right away and that is what I see as a reality for every investors and being Bitcoin aggressively.

There is truth that the level of aggressiveness relates to the level of bitcoin buying within a guy's discretionary income rather than the level of aggressiveness being based upon changes in the BTC price.

There are risks when guys attempt to ramp up or ramp down their level of aggressiveness based on their perception of BTC price movements and/or their anticipations about where the BTC price might go in the short term.  

Guys surely run the risk of either over doing their BTC accumulation or underdoing it when they are adjusting their level of aggressiveness to the price and their perceptions of where the BTC price might go, and they may also end up changing their own mindset away from regularly and persistently buying bitcoin and end up incorporating too much waiting and likely irrelevant strategizing that ultimately contributes to their buying less bitcoin than they would have had otherwise accomplished by staying persistent and consistent with their focusing on ongoing and regular BTC buys.

So in some sense, a guy who is attempting to adjust his level of aggressiveness based on perceptions of BTC price moves, he may well end up gravitating his approach towards more whimpiness, even though his intentions might have had been to try to be more aggressive with his strategic employment of his aggressiveness.   He ends up getting the opposite outcome and fewer BTC as a result of his trying to guess what the BTC price might do.

For sure, guys are free to play around with their level of aggressiveness and their attempts to time the BTC market, yet those kinds of strategies are likely not as effective as guys might speculate them to be and those kinds of strategies (techniques0 might end up working against them, especially if they are still early in their BTC accumulation phases and they already know that their goals involve concentrating on ongoing, persistent, consistent, regular and even aggressive BTC accumulation for at least a whole bitcoin cycle and perhaps even staying focused on ongoing and aggressive BTC accumulation for a whole couple of bitcoin cycles if they already might recognize/appreciate that economically speaking, they don't have high levels of discretionary income that is easy to increase based on their resources and/or their known situation.. since they might have already been engaging in several kinds of efforts to increase their discretionary income by increasing income and/or by decreasing expenses.

.....those who believe in Bitcoin and hold bitcoin for the long term, they will definitely get the positive results in a very big way, but those who are skeptical about Bitcoin now and refrain from investing, they are definitely going to miss a lot of great opportunities in the future and for which you may suffer great regret.

I doubt that it is fair or even reasonable to proclaim that investing in bitcoin guarantees success.

Each of us should strive to figure out how aggressive that we would like to be in our bitcoin investment (in the event that we choose to invest in bitcoin), and surely we are stuck to live with the consequences of our decision and our ongoing actions in that direction.

Surely, historically, guys who have invested in bitcoin ha ve tended to do better than those who did not invest in bitcoin, as long as they errored on the side of making sure that they were holding and did not lost their keys (or their access to their coins).  There is no reason to believe that bitcoin's investment thesis is getting any weaker, and it may even be getting stronger, even though there is no guarantee and also it is not likely that BTC's price appreciation curve is going to be as high as it has historically been. .and there is also no guarantee that guys might not fuck up in their execution of whatever bitcoin accumulation and/or holding plan that they end up employing.
